Pablo Lautaro Javkin (born 19 November 1971) is an Argentine lawyer and politician who has served as intendente (mayor) of Rosario since 2019. A former member of the Radical Civic Union (UCR), Javkin spent most of his political career in the Civic Coalition ARI before founding his own local party, Creo, and winning the mayorship in 2019.
Javkin served as a National Deputy from 2013 to 2015. He has also served as a member of the Provincial Chamber of Deputies, as a city councilman in Rosario and as a member of the city's municipal government.
During his term as mayor of Rosario, the city has faced escalating drug-related violence, with homicides peaking at 288 in 2022 before declining to 90 in 2024 after federal and provincial security interventions. Re-elected in 2023 with 51.74% of the vote, his administration launched Rosario’s tricentennial urban renewal plan in 2025.
